About this listen
It’s time to take our lives back from a world of narcissism, entitlement, and toxic relationships.
“Don’t you know who I am?” has become the mantra of the famous and infamous, the entitled and the insecure. It’s the tagline of the modern narcissist.
Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult, or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls.
Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized. They are manifestations of pathological insecurity - insecurities that are experienced at both the individual and societal level. The paradox is that we value these patterns. We venerate them through social media, mainstream media, and consumerism, and they are endemic in political, corporate, academic, and media leaders.
There are few lives untouched by narcissists. These relationships infect those who are in them with self-doubt, despair, confusion, anxiety, depression, and the chronic feeling of being “not enough,” all of which make it so difficult to step away and set boundaries. The illusion of hope and the fantasy of redemption can result in years of second chances, and despondency when change never comes.
It’s time for a wake-up call. It’s time to stem the tide of narcissism, entitlement, and antagonism, and take our lives back.

So on point
A book that will resonate with those who have lived this experience. I like the way she separates chapters so you can dip into the one related to your experience of the person who has been a narc in your life.

A must read.. what ever your circumstances!
Excellent insight into personalities that I am sure we have all tolerated at some point. A brilliant reminder on how to not just survive but to have the confidence to make changes with who we spend time with if necessary. I have read many books on personalities disorders and this one is one I will read again; it’s clear, reassuring and everyone would benefit from gaining knowledge on the subject.

Dr Ramani helped me so much with this book
I was so happy when I realised Dr Ramani was narrating. it has helped me understand why I seem to attract toxic or narcassistic people in my life, helped a bit to stop blaming myself and realising what the pattern was created. 100% recommend this book to anyone to understand, heal, prevent narcassists from entering your life in the first place.
